2. We must learn from the starlings.

The video demonstrates (toward the end) how a leaderless movement functions successfully.

Watch the starlings respond to predators; it doesn't require every starling, just enough to scare off the attacker. The 'Idle No More' movement is an evolution of the abuse handed out by law enforcement to the occupiers. Of course I only just heard about 'Idle No More'; so it isn't the nuisance that occupy was. However, just as the Boston tea party predates the revolutionary war by many years; it'll take a while for the occupy movement to reach a tipping point.

This is a very interesting video. If you haven't seen it; I recommend it. I believe it's related to the topic.
